According to the report, the sale still hinges on approval by the Committee for Foreign Investment in the U.S. The Massachusetts-based company entered bankruptcy proceedings in October after receiving more than $100 million in government grants.

Navitas Systems, an Illinois-based company, is purchasing the company’s defense-related assets including its Ann Arbor office. Wanxiang would take over plants in Livonia and Romulus.
